Voluntary Database
F. By July 1, 2021, every locality shall establish a voluntary
database to be made available to the 9-1-1 alert system and
the Marcus alert system to provide relevant mental health
information and emergency contact information for
appropriate response to an emergency or crisis. Identifying
and health information concerning behavioral health illness,
mental health illness, developmental or intellectual disability,
or brain injury may be voluntarily provided to the database by
the individual with the behavioral health illness, mental health
illness, developmental or intellectual disability, or brain
injury; the parent or legal guardian of such individual if the
individual is under the age of 18; or a person appointed the
guardian of such person as defined in § 64.2-2000. An
individual shall be removed from the database when he
reaches the age of 18, unless he or his guardian, as defined in Slide
                                                                § 5

Plan thus Far (Background and Values)
• Working together as a system to shift to a behavioral
  health response to behavioral health crises
• Shifting role of law enforcement to be:
   – Behaviorally health trained professionals who have the
     skills necessary to triage people in behavioral health crisis
     to the behavioral health system
   – Supportive role to community based behavioral health
     crisis response when there are safety concerns
• Building a robust system of community based crisis
  services with equity as a key design principle

                                                                Slide 7
Plan Thus Far (State Level Components)
• Statewide and cross-sector “language” to track how
  situations are classified and what response is sent
• Minimum standards for diverting calls to 9-8-8 and STEP-
  VA/BRAVO mobile crisis
• Specialty models, including protocols/process as well as
  teams that can be developed, for localities to evaluate based
  on their needs and define their plans at the different levels
   – Poison control
   – Telehealth
   – Three community care team models
• An equity at Intercept 0 Initiative to build equity into the
  crisis system from the start
• Training requirements within and across sectors

                                                                 Slide 8
Proposed Four Level
                               Framework
  LEVEL 1 ROUTINE        LEVEL 2 URGENT           LEVEL 3 URGENT          LEVEL 4 EMERGENT

Minimal Risk                Low Risk            Considerable Risk            High Risk

  • The framework provides a statewide way to communicate across sectors and across
    communities about the different types of situations and how responsibility and
    decision making are shared
  • Four levels provides the breadth for communities to place resources at lower or
    higher acuity levels based on their needs and communicate their plans to others (e.g.,
    local leaders)
  • NOT because there are inherently 4 levels of crisis or because there are hard rules
    about when LE should be involved (i.e., you can have level 1 & 2 both diversion)
  • A behavioral health focused response is the goal at all acuity levels, even if law
    enforcement involvement is expected at level 4 and may be present at level 3

                                                                                         Slide 9
Three Protocols Required by July, 2022

• Protocols are required for all localities by this date
  (whether or not you have any new teams developed)
• Working within CSB catchment areas and regionally is
  recommended
• Can be a shared protocol across areas even if there are
  technical differences across PSAPs, as long as the plans
  are equivalent

                                                        Slide 10
Three Required Protocols

      Protocol #1                 Protocol #2               Protocol #3

• This protocol             • MOU between the         • Specialized response
  demonstrates how            regional call center      by law enforcement
  you will transfer calls     and law enforcement     • System/layered
  from 9-1-1 to the 9-8-      agencies that could       approach to the
  8 call center               be called as back up      requirements, based
• Required for level 1        to mobile crisis          on a specific model
• Recommended for           • Assumed standard          (next slide)
  level 2                     language for the call
  • Includes any              center with each
    provisions for            participating agency
    “poison control         • Includes training
    model” at level 2         agreement regarding
                              CIT trained officers

                              Alert training

Protocol #3

• Model for protocol 3:

                                  Slide 12
Community Coverage
• Required in a phased approach
• It is not required that you build your own local teams; the
  requirements can be met with additional coordination
  with STEP-VA/BRAVO teams, including telehealth
• Local teams do not replace utilization of STEP-VA/BRAVO
  teams, instead they:
    • Provide triage function to link people to the crisis
       continuum (whereas mobile crisis is part of the crisis
       continuum)
    • Responses to emergent situations that mobile crisis
       would have transferred to 9-1-1/involved LE

                                                          Slide 13
Team Types
• STEP-VA/BRAVO mobile crisis teams (part of Intercept 0)
• Community care without LE (“CAHOOTS” style; a local link
  to Intercept 0)
• Community care with LE (Henrico STAR style; a local link to
  Intercept 0)
• Co-response teams (a local link to Intercept 0)
